Prosecutor's Office seeks to lift the immunity of GERB leader and former PM, Boyko Borissov

Sofia City Prosecutor's Office on May 30 proposed to the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Bulgaria to submit a reasoned request to the Parliament to authorize the prosecution of Boyko Borissov - former Prime Minister and MP from the 49th National Assembly.

The motion was prepared in connection with pre-trial proceedings, known in the media as "Barcelonagate", in which evidence has been gathered under Article 219 of the Criminal Procedure Code for a crime under Article 253 of the Criminal Code committed by the MP (money laundering).

From the evidence gathered in the course of the pre-trial proceedings, it can be concluded that the former Prime Minister has provided third parties with funds acquired as a result of a crime committed for the purchase and rental of real estate abroad, the Prosecutor's Office said in its announcement.
